Instead of renting a restaurant for an expensive wedding banquet (盛宴) ,26-year-olds Wang Shaowei and Zhang Xin tied the knot (紧缩) at a cost of nine yuan (US $ 1. 40) spent on a mar?riage certificate.

The couple,who just recently 1        the work force,forwent nearly all the traditional pre?requisites (必备条件) of a Chinese wedding:owning an apartment and a car,buying wedding rings and 2       a pricy ceremony at a posh (豪华的) hotel.

"We had a big dinner in our twobedroom rented apartment to 3        the start of our mar?

ried life,and nothing 4,      "said Wang,who lives with his wife in Shijiazhuang,capital of Hebei Province.

In recent years,an increasing number of Chinese young people have chosen a " naked mar?riage" .

The term,coined (创造) in 2008 by Chinese bloggers,has drawn5      discussion since a popular TV series dubbed " Naked Marriage Era" brought the 6        into the public spotlight (注意) 7       a chord (共鸣) with young Chinese,especially those born in the 1980s.

The term refers to a.8       who get hitched ( = married) before acquiring a house and car and who spend little 9        their wedding ceremony. Some do so 10        in an effort to declare their 11       ,while others simply have no 12       .

"Naked marriage" marks a sharp 13        from China's established marriage 14       ,which encourage parents to help lay the 15        foundation for their children's marriage by helping them secure a house and car.
